Solgar Chelated Copper - 100 Tablets

Description:

Solgar Chelated Copper is a dietary supplement designed to support healthy copper levels in the body using a highly absorbable chelated form. Each tablet provides 2.5 mg of copper as copper bisglycinate chelate, an essential trace mineral involved in red blood cell formation, iron metabolism, connective tissue and collagen synthesis, nervous system function, and antioxidant defense. The chelated (bisglycinate) form is bound to amino acids to help enhance absorption and bioavailability, making it suitable for individuals who need targeted copper support or who may have difficulty maintaining adequate copper status through diet alone. This supplement is typically used as part of a comprehensive vitamins and minerals regimen to support energy production, immune function, healthy skin and hair, and overall wellness. It is intended for adults and is free from common allergens such as gluten, wheat, dairy, soy, yeast, sugar, sodium, artificial flavors, sweeteners, preservatives, and colors (based on commonly available product information).

Indications:

• Helps support healthy copper levels in individuals with low dietary intake or increased requirements (copper deficiency states).
• Supports normal red blood cell formation and healthy hemoglobin production in conjunction with adequate iron intake.
• Assists proper iron absorption, transport, and utilization in the body.
• Supports the maintenance and formation of connective tissues and collagen, contributing to healthy skin, blood vessels, bones, and joints.
• Helps support normal immune system function.
• Supports normal energy production and cellular metabolism.
• Contributes to healthy nervous system function and brain health.
• Provides antioxidant support by contributing to enzymes that help neutralize free radicals and protect cells from oxidative stress.
• May support healthy pigmentation of skin and hair as copper is involved in melanin production.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Copper (as copper bisglycinate chelate) – 2.5 mg per tablet (exact percentage of daily value may vary by country; dv information not available).

• Contributes to normal functioning of the immune system, helping the body’s natural defenses.
• Supports energy production at the cellular level by participating in key metabolic enzymes.
• Provides antioxidant support by contributing to copper-dependent enzymes that help protect cells from oxidative damage.
• Supports healthy nervous system function and may contribute to normal brain and nerve signaling.
• Helps maintain normal pigmentation of skin and hair through its role in melanin production.
• Chelated copper (copper bisglycinate) form is designed for enhanced absorption and gentle action on the digestive system compared with some inorganic copper salts.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Do not use this product if you are allergic or hypersensitive to copper or any of the tablet ingredients.
• Excessive copper intake can be harmful and may lead to copper toxicity; use only as directed and avoid combining with other high-copper supplements without medical advice.
• Contraindicated in individuals with Wilson’s disease or other disorders of copper metabolism, or in those with known copper overload, unless specifically prescribed and monitored by a specialist.
• Use with caution in patients with severe liver disease, kidney impairment, or gastrointestinal disorders; medical supervision is recommended.
• Consult your doctor before use if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding, as mineral requirements and tolerances may differ.
• Consult your healthcare provider before use if you are taking other medications or supplements, especially zinc, iron, or other mineral products, as copper may interact with or alter their absorption.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease; this is a nutritional supplement, not a replacement for prescribed medical treatment.
• Keep out of reach of children. Accidental overdose of mineral-containing products in children may cause serious adverse effects.
• Discontinue use and seek medical advice if you experience signs of copper excess such as persistent nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting, metallic taste, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or unusual fatigue.

Side Effects:

• Common, usually mild side effects may include upset stomach, abdominal discomfort, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation, especially if taken on an empty stomach or at high doses.

• Allergic reactions such as rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing are rare but require immediate medical attention and discontinuation of the product.
• High or prolonged excessive intake of copper may increase the risk of liver or kidney damage and can interfere with the absorption of other minerals such as zinc and iron; medical supervision is advised for long-term high-dose use.
